Summary
Betty is an old lady who hasn’t been feeling very well recently. She lives alone with her new stray dog Pookie for company and manages to venture out to the shops on her way to get her hair done before Mary’s birthday. She is stopped by the Doctor posing as a RSPCA representative. He tells her that Pookie isn’t a Yorkshire terrier, but is in fct a large purple creature, a parasitic Kera-Bera Beast stranded on Earth and feeding off of Betty’s life energy projecting the illusion that he is dog. Betty doesn’t believe him and goes off to her hairdresser’s appointment where Amy is waiting with a converted hairdryer. While the Doctor distracts Pookie Amy turns on the drier which the Doctor had adapted to reverse the psychic link between Betty and Poochie. The result, besides Betty being left with a pink punky hairstyle is to recharge her energies and leave the Kera-Bera beast transformed into what Betty believed it was – a cute little albeit purple, dog!
